Advanced settings for Assets object attributes

You can use the eazyBI advanced settings (available only to Jira system administrators, Jira trusted users and eazyBI admins) to modify Assets object attribute import options. eazyBI advanced settings are defined using the TOML format.

First, determine the attribute's ID before modifying its import options. You can do that in Assets or the eazyBI Assets source data import options by hovering over the Assets attribute name. Then add the following line to advanced settings:

# parameter name for eazyBI version 6.6
[source_application.insight.customfield_NN]

# parameter name starting eazyBI version 7.0
[source_application.assets.customfield_NN]

where NN is the Assets attribute ID. That will start the block of configuration parameters for the NN attribute. After that line, specify the data type of this attribute:

data_type = "integer"

Other available types are string, text, decimal, date, datetime.

You can use the additional setting limit to extend the maximum length of string or the size of integer type attributes. By default, the maximum string length is 255 characters. The option limit = 300 would extend that. Integers are limited in the range of –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. To import larger numbers as integers, add the additional setting limit = 8 .

If you use the decimal data type, then by default, the precision (maximum number of digits) is 15, and the scale (digits after the decimal point) is 2. You can change these defaults with additional precision and scale settings.

If you would like to import an attribute as a measure, add the setting measure. Note you can import only integer, decimal, and date data types as measures.

measure = true

Here is an example of an integer type measure definition:

# parameter name for eazyBI version 6.6
[source_application.insight.customfield_89]
data_type = "integer"
measure = true

# parameter name starting eazyBI version 7.0
[source_application.assets.customfield_89]
data_type = "integer"
measure = true

Select the attribute for import after updating the eazyBI advanced settings. If you have already imported the attribute, first deselect it and import data. After that, select it back for import and import data.
